but I didn’t think it would end like this. [North Korea threatens war over Seth Rogan movie The Interview.](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-28014069) Sounds like an Onion headline but no, just that crazy Kim Jong-un. ---

Seth Rogan should IMMEDIATELY announce that they’re working on a musical touring stage show version of the movie. ---

I am surprised a major studio would agree to make this movie. The idea of a movie that glamorizes the fictional assassination of a real world leader is kinda messed up even if it is a dirtbag like Kim Jong Un. Would anyone really think this was okay if it were about killing Obama, or Angela Merkel, or Vladimir Putin? ---

The idea of a movie that glamorizes the fictional assassination of a real world leader is kinda messed up even if it is a dirtbag like Kim Jong Un. Would anyone really think this was okay if it were about killing Obama, or Angela Merkel, or Vladimir Putin? 1. How do you know _The Interview_ glamorizes the assassination of Kim Jong-Un? 2. Yes, I’d support their right to make the film, just like I supported [these folks 8 years ago](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_a_President_(2006_film)). ---
